How many DE IVF cycles 4 a +?

Just curious to know how many people are blessed enough to have a baby already, and how many are like me who keep falling on the wrong side of the high success rate with DE. I just rec'd a BFN from my second DE IVF cycle and I am feeling soooooooooo low right now. I have been up most of the morning searching for jobs that may cover additional cycles and wondering what we will do if I just keep coming up negative. I know the percentages with DE are really high and I guess if we just keep trying we will eventually end up pregnant but I just don't know. The excitement is quickly fading and despair is quickly setting in. We still have 3 frozen embies and RE is going to transfer them without cost. We are tapped out at this point so I guess that is a God send. I am just scared that this FET may not be successful either. Just to note before moving onto DE we did 5 fresh IVF cycles. Trying not to cry and lose hope but it is so hard for me right now. How many DE cycles did it take you before you got your BFP?

I did 2 fresh DE IVF, one frozen, had one cancelled because the embryo didn&#039;t survive the thaw and finally got a BFP with the one donor embryo cycle with just one blast. My prayers are with you for success and I know how it feels to always seem to fall on the bad end of the percentages.

I have a 1mth old beautiful little girl!!! It took me 3yrs to get her here, but once you finally have them in your arms you forget about what it took to get to them! I did 4 IVF cycles all with donor eggs (2 fresh 2 frozen). I got PG each time but lost all the pregnancies in the first trimester. I kept thinking it would have been easier just to have gotten a BFN each time but who knows for sure. You just need to keep holding on &amp; persevering.....it really will be worth it in the end. I will pray you have your dreams come true &amp; that you finally see the happy side of this struggle!

we&#039;ve been in touch so you know my story (1st try fresh de ivf). anyway, i just wanted to tell you to hang in there. just look at dulcylee clynne and others. maybe you have an issue that the re hasnt identified yet that could be holding you up or maybe it just wasnt your time yet. i know it&#039;s so hard to stay positive but try to keep up the faith. your turn will come.

Did 4 IVF cycles with my own eggs - all BFN. The first DE IVF cycle (fresh) worked for me, I am now 21 weeks pregnant with a little girl. I&#039;m so sorry that it hasn&#039;t worked out for you yet... please don&#039;t give up!

Did IVF with my own eggs and did PGD, only had one embryo to transfer and BFN. Due to 5 miscarrages and the failed IVF cause my embryos having chromosone problems we used my sister as my egg donor. I am now 4 1/2 months preggo with one baby and have 4 frozen. Please dont give up!! You will be in my prayers.

Don&#039;t give up it will happen. I used the same donor twice and got pregnant
on a frozen cycle where 2 blasts were transferred. I am now 17 weeks pregnant as of today.( 4 months) The expense was more since it was a private donor.
but I got to keep all the blasts and only the best ones were transferred.
I had an issue with polyps in my uterus. Once the doctor removed them I got pregnant. The problem was with me and
not the donor or the doctor.

I stayed with the same doctor the whole time and never gave up. I know
how you feel but the only way for you to have a baby is to try again.

I can relate. We have been trying for 4 years, had two IVF cycles with my own eggs that produced no transferable embryos, then used my sister as a donor this month. I got a questionable positive that was negative 2 days later. We have 6 frozens to go back to, but boy is it hard to think positive about the frozen transfers at times. Each failure is like another death in the family. There is only so much grief we can take! However, I still hope that a little totsicle will become a baby in my arms. Hang in there...

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
